Answer:

a) 2.2 m/s² b) 8 s

Explanation:

a) Assuming that the acceleration is constant, we can use any of the kinematic equations to solve the question.

As we don´t know the time needed to accelerate, we can use the following equation:

vf2 – vo2 = 2*a*∆x

At first, we can convert the values of vf, vo and ∆x, to SI units, as follows:

vf = 65 mi/h* (1,605 m / 1mi) * (1h/3,600 sec) = 29 m/s

vo = 25 mi/h *(1,605 m / 1mi) * (1h/3,600 sec) = 11.2 m/s

∆x = 0.1 mi*(1,605 m / 1mi) = 160.5 m

Replacing these values in (1), and solving for a, we have:

a = (29 m/s – 11.2 m/s) / 321 m = 2.2 m/s2

b) In order to obtain the time needed to reach to 65 mi/h, we can rearrange the equation for the definition of acceleration, as follows:

vf = vo + at  

Replacing by the values already known for vo, vf and a, and solving for t, we get:

t = vf-vo /a = (29 m/s – 11.2 m/s) / 2.2 m/s = 8 sec

The cubic capacity of a four-stroke over-square spark-ignition engine is 245cc. The over-square ratio is (1.1) The clearance vol
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Bore = 7 cm

stroke = 6.36 cm

compression ratio = 10.007

Explanation:

Given data:

Cubic capacity of the engine, V = 245 cc

Clearance volume, v = 27.2 cc

over square-ratio = 1.1

thus,

D/L = 1.1

where,

D is the bore

L is the stroke

Now,

V = \frac{\pi}{4}D^2L

or

V = \frac{\pi}{4}\frac{D^3}{1.1}

on substituting the values, we have

245 =  \frac{\pi}{4}\frac{D^3}{1.1}

or

D = 7.00 cm

Now,

we have

D/L = 1.1

thus,

L = D/1.1

L = 7/1.1

or

L= 6.36 cm

Now,

the compression ratio is given as:

\textup{compression ratio}=\frac{V+v}{v}

on substituting the values, we get

\textup{compression ratio}=\frac{245+27.2}{27.2}

or

Compression ratio = 10.007

3. In the text, we described a multithreaded file server, showing why it is better than a single-threaded server and a finite-st
NemiM [27]

Answer and Explanation:

• 1 thread awaits the incoming request

• 1 thread responds to the request

• 1 thread reads the hard disk

A multithreaded file server is better than a single-threaded server and a finite-state machine server because it provides better response compared to the rest and can make use of the shared Web data.

Yes, there are circumstances in which a single-threaded server might be better. If it is designed such that:

- the server is completely CPU bound, such that multiple threads isn't needed. But it would account for some complexity that aren't needed.

An example is, the assistance number of a telephone directory (e.g 7771414) for an community of say, one million people. Consider that each name and telephone number record is sixty-four characters, the whole database takes 64 MB, and can be easily stored in the server's memory in order to provide quick lookup.

NOTE:

Multiple threads lead to operation slow down and no support for Kernel threads.

A long, circular aluminum rod is attached at one end to a heated wall and transfers heat by convection to a cold fluid.
Trava [24]

Answer:

a. Heat removal rate will increase

b. Heat removal rate will decrease

Explanation:

Given that

One end of rod is connected to the furnace and rod is long.So this rod can be treated as infinite long fin.

We know that heat transfer in fin given as follows

Q_{fin}=\sqrt{hPKA}\ \Delta T

We know that area

A=\dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2

Now when diameter will triples then :

A_f=\dfrac{\pi}{4}{\left (3d \right )}^2

A_f=9A

Q'_{fin}=\sqrt{9hPKA}\ \Delta T

Q'_{fin}=3\sqrt{hPKA}\ \Delta T

Q'_{fin}=3Q

So the new heat transfer will increase by 3 times.

Now when copper rod will replace by aluminium rod :

As we know that thermal conductivity(K) of Aluminium is low as compare to Copper .It means that heat transfer will decreases.
